Summary
The documentation page exhibits a mild Windows bias, primarily in sections describing certificate handling for client certificate authentication. PowerShell is presented as the main method for converting PFX files to base64, and Windows file paths (e.g., 'c:\certificate.pfx') are used in examples. While OpenSSL is mentioned as a troubleshooting tool, the initial instructions and examples prioritize Windows tooling and workflows. There are no Linux/macOS-specific examples or explicit parity guidance for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS examples for certificate conversion, such as using OpenSSL commands for base64 encoding.
  • Use platform-neutral file paths in code samples (e.g., '/home/user/certificate.pfx' or generic '<path-to-certificate.pfx>').
  • Explicitly mention that all certificate conversion steps can be performed on Linux/macOS and provide those command lines alongside PowerShell.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, add a note or alternative for Bash/shell scripting.
  • Review other sections for hidden assumptions of Windows environments and clarify cross-platform compatibility.
